it is six o'clock on a monday morning here in a moscow four o'clock in the morning in that libya which is where we have breaking news let's get to right now right now reports say rebel forces have reached of the center of the capital and are in control of ninety percent of tripoli the head of libyan leader moammar gadhafi is personal security forces reported to have disarmed is unit and has surrendered the international criminal court says it can confirm that gadhafi son saif al islam has been arrested the rebel council announced it will stop the fighting that's raging around tripoli if colonel gadhafi leaves the country but in a second audio address the turmoil urged to the nation to fight to the end i witness is our tweeting that an independence flag has now been raised on tripoli's central mosque in the rebel stronghold of benghazi a victory celebrations are already underway. independent journalist lizzy feel and

says we shouldn't write off the off season forces just yet. well i mean the say the hotel right now because if we see this situation. outside knots yesterday and i'm able so i will so that there's been intense nato bombing of the city. so clearly you know there's been a lot of bloodshed some nights the last that the last time we had which is a few hours ago i think death toll for the day it was one thousand three hundred so surety has risen above that and nato has or hasn't gotten his hands today so all i can say is i definitely would not underestimate the libyan army they do have in my supplies we have seen we should be very invention and about but the thing i mean hearing and i got the rebels say as we know they have made many claims throughout the duration of this crisis this which had been prevented the folds. journalist.

who is also in. the situation on the ground is very dangerous and that they are surrounded by a rebel government. if there are so snipers around the world tell me should i do this i was actually shot and so on the sign saying this is you to write a story when an attack us you know. like skeet you were really crazy they make the slaughter too so i just thought this. would make it sound like that regime is collapsing i don't think the regime is rights i do think it tells situations when there's a lot of people young people out there fighting you know children to young people under the age of sixteen pick up guns you know you've seen the world view hotel he is young and you're going to be joining your wife who are some people to meet my needs. it's a very dire situation we're in right now are all around you that you moved out a little bit basically so that i brought some desire to get in on the stairs for

everybody so we stayed in nigeria meeting and that's basically it. that's we cross live to the u.s. for some perspective on developments in libya political scientist to dr michael rented based in berkeley california joins us now now dr planty thanks for being with us during the some very interesting times then ravel rebels claim a cut off his role has crumbled what's next for libya. well. expect the same thing as you saw it happen in yugoslavia and in eastern europe there will be a massive privatization take place the public economy that could daffy government built over forty years which included public subsidies for housing for education health care all those things will be privatized the oil the oil fields will be

handed over to private companies for private profit death squads will come in to clean out. those who might still have a commitment to a social wage or communal wage and this is what we have to look forward to privatization deregulation. and the like. where the individual proves is that. where it intervenes and where it doesn't mean it intervenes and any country that tries to use the land the labor the natural resources and the markets of their own country for their own self development in their own communal development rather than throwing it open to law. yes and humanitarian intervention is not really humanitarian they demonstrate that if you give a power of nato three four. support

system utilities system houses of oz bottles i mean who knows killing people breaking down their economy showing them there's no. space above them once you do that you can overthrow the government and that was the real intention it was to overthrow the government it wasn't any humanitarian concern it wasn't any concern for democracy or human rights if the united states is concerned about. i mean saudi arabia which is a horrible dictatorship right now. so what ok it seems that we are having some technical difficulties with that we'll try to get dr michael pretty back who is based in berkeley california thank you for that and if you're watching at home we're having some trouble with the audio there on skype on to more news with the libyan situation now nato secretary general anders fogh rasmussen has

released a statement on the situation in tripoli saying that the libyan people should be spared further bloodshed or he's going to church or can has more from washington. washington a team player in this battle for tripoli that's was short was saying that could dolphins days are counted and there they are in close contact with the rebels we do know at this point that nato is doing the heavy work attacking tripoli we're talking about some seventy five hundred strikes within some five to six months and here is what nato secretary general said gadhafi as we dream is clearly crumbling and here is i quote quoting here the sooner colonel gadhafi realizes that he cannot win the battle against his own people the better so that the leading people can be spared further bloodshed and suffering well the whole of the international community has been united saying that he has no place in libya's future and that he must step down and that was a view shared by all u.n. security council members including russia but. the means by which nato has been

accomplishing the goal of al staying gadhafi have seen many violations of the u.n. resolution from six months ago that authorized the military intervention the resolution was designed to protect civilians but many innocent civilians have been killed by nato strikes within those six months or the funneling of weapons to libyan rebels is also being done in clear violation of the arms embargo that was imposed on libya western powers clearly took sides in the civil war basically disregarding the whole part of the population in libya there was a dance the military intervention in the first place well in light of all those violations that have taken place it was very likely that the u.n. security council would have adopted yet another resolution on leave you know come september and september is when the previous resolution was out so it was very crucial it was crucial for nato and the rebels to carry out the operation before the resolution runs out of the fight for who's going to be in charge of libya is no

surprising considering what's at stake and let's not forget we're talking about a nation that has the richest oil reserves in africa has done it you can reporting from washington for some reaction coming from london here's our correspondent laura . but we have heard reaction from downing street quite late on sunday evening and it was a surprising reaction i'll be honest with you they released a statement saying that the end is near and think exactly that he's committed some a cooling crimes against its own people and he must now to avoid the suffering for his people that's a cool they've been repeating i have a series of months now that gadhafi must go and the background will this is just less than two weeks to go to the embassy that is going embassy in london with in fact handed over to have really put into law a representative of the overturn his you know powerful say the exactly regime of people who would have now gone back to libya and it's been taken over by the

transitional council. we see rebel forces preaching action in a very from the east and from the west and of course all the time backed by these nascent ad strikes which are being heavily supported by the lungs and by downing street and the results of that is that we are all hearing reports that we don't know who now wegg exactly is fox has raised himself with reports of being feuding savefile islam have being passionate and the rebels say that they're holding them in a safe place ready to hand them over to the relevant or florida keys now the view generally on the grounds i have to say that the libyan conflict is rather cool and out at the knees over the last few weeks as things tend to do have a very short news cycle and we've had a lot of our own stuff going on here in the u.k. but people are saying now that this might be the beginning but then not thinking of that is the end was quite yet yes that's analysis coming out and saying that these these final who know most of these people like final few streets that the rebels

have to take if they are going to gain control of tripoli will not be easy i'm told we're looking at going to rain which often fall into just to the defendant as the defendants can then take who are residential buildings mosques any kind of high point they would take. had fallen such a bad i mean it's hard to defend this it's a kind of cool stuff in terms of the nature of these these incredibly numerous asteroids that they've been known saying it's much harder to target as strikes when you are in such a built up over the part of residential area and of course what is going to be left behind when this key battle fortunately is there you go whoever comes out on top it's expected that it's being targeted placed by the rebels and they to the rebels and nato and five exactly sources will be key for oil and transport infrastructure which was essentially people carrying on the no move every day. laura and that reporting there from the london now president sarkozy of france as

well as the german government are again calling on qaddafi to step down in the face of the recent gains by the rebels or he's daniel bushell is in paris with the latest. president sarkozy called on gadhafi to immediately give out what power he has left to order his forces to cease fire and to give way to what sarkozy called the legitimate libyan authorities as the outcome of the rebel victory is no longer in belt but the french leader added he fully supports the rebels he called this a disorder of moment and the libyan people who support them reiterating for his backing for the rebel provisional council germany has called on gadhafi to step down quickly different six ers here fear frauds will no use military force in the capital putting civilian lives at risk and that it will use the international criminal courts employment of gadhafi as a justification and that was a den a bushel reporting from paris we'll keep you updated as more information becomes available from the breaking news in libya. across the border violence has erupted

in the middle east this week with israel launching airstrikes in gaza hamas responded by launching more than one hundred rockets and mortars into the country the violence erupted after a series of attacks inside the jewish state on thursday that killed eight civilians latest reports however suggested that egypt has managed to broker a ceasefire between the two sides artie's policy here is following the developments for us from jerusalem. the reports we're receiving indicate that hermetic fishel say that cairo has brokered this truce which goes into effect this evening we understand their television was hesitant and about making any kind of agreement with the guards operatives and the militants there you put down fire first we also understand that it will be the responsibility of her master security personnel to enforce the cease fire not only this is good news but the reality on the ground is that no one here really believes that a cease fire between the two sides will rast and will will really survive the test

of time this latest violence started on thursday in a three pronged attack that left eighty's rabies did not its all responded almost immediately with a strikes and those airstrikes have been continuous since tuesday there have been more than a dozen palestinians killed they have been more than its eighty grad and cause some rockets that have rained down on southern israeli towns killing one israeli and injuring many more so certainly the the stance on the ground is there both sides are incredibly angry both sides are incredibly distrustful of the other and one of the sentiments being expressed sharon israeli circles today is that the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has been preparing for a war with gaza for some time and every day what happened on thursday was just so perfect opportunity to carry out the assault that we've seen here in israeli circles demonstrators david they're not surprised by the latest spate of violence many believe that netanyahu is hoping for something like this to happen because he has a prime minister that is very strong armed security issues on issues of what what

is called terrorism here in israel rather than on addressing socio economic internal problems so for more than a month now you've had tens of thousands of protesters in all the major cities in israel they marched again last night and was before the slogan was a call for social justice they added a new slogan yesterday saying a call for a cease fire now the protesters that i've been speaking to are adamant that they will. if this latest spate of violence detract the netanyahu government from a great scene. they plan that by the first weekend in september they'll have a million man march they believe they'll get a million israeli citizens to the streets so that's almost one sixth of the population here so they certainly is a lot of disgruntled israelis about domestic issues and if anything i want to keep this latest spate of violence they say has made them even more determined to make sure that netanyahu and his government addresses the concerns. are reporting from

jerusalem on to britain now where two young men have been handed to jail sentence for using facebook to encourage violent riots the jail terms were praised by prime minister david cameron but slammed by human rights groups as over the top of a bennett has more on how the policy of zero tolerance has taken hold in the u.k. . four years behind bars for the riot that didn't even happen jordan black sure and perry sutcliffe kenan were banged up for inciting disorder on facebook no one turned up after their invitation to riot which they later said was a drunken joke but now they face sentences even tougher than most looters and our worry is that it is an imbalance a four year sentence for example would normally be given to somebody for a previous bodily harm for holding someone up with a knife or even for. some form of sexual assault so it seems to me that that there is a danger that the courts are moving into disproportionate territory and that

actually devalues our response to more serious crimes that governments encourage courts to dish out harsh sentences by using the public disturbance as an aggravating factor it's meant this man anderson fernandez could even be sent to jail for theft of just two scoops of ice cream because like this one denying bail to most offenders and ignoring any claims of previous good character of the one thousand two hundred seventy seven people charge so far two thirds have been remanded in custody that's way up on last year's rate for serious crimes chris just ten percent some offenders even being made homeless is their punishment with local governments taking away their houses but many say it's all simply cause more harm than good i think this is very unwise the move to remove people from housing intern move benefits because actually if we are seeing that some of the crime that we saw

on the streets was an expression of people not feeling part to society not feeling part of our communities then these measures are actually going to push people further away from society further away from our communities and far more likely to commit crime the facebook case is the first sign of the government's desire to crack down on social media sites like twitter were applauded by the west to mobilize. the masses in the arab world but they were also instrumental in the u.k. riots so now the prime minister wants it to stop it we are working with the police the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites or services when we know they are plotting violence disorder and criminality when social media fueled revolutions in egypt and tunisia britain called it democracy but now the shoe's on the other foot when troubles closer to home i'm very conscious that there be news you know the really poor or. movements only would be the force to complete. the

authorities in countries who are trying to walk. the prime minister says this is where britain fights back put it speeds this fighting fire with fire could only fan the flames of civil disorder avi bennett artsy london. a collective economic a government that's the latest measure proposed by top e.u. leaders in their bid to halt market turmoil and to reverse the stagnation across the continent but the latest ideas have found little support among investors who say it's come as too little and too late and all the merkel and nicolas sarkozy rejected the idea of euro bonds favored by the markets and a seen by many as the best way of emerging from the debt crisis and according to international consultant and former belgian m.p. lord. the entire affair was a p.r. boost for ailing politicians. and went to london biggest economies of the european monetary union get together that is of course always meaningful if only on up

psychological level these meetings tend to draw the line of should the eurozone countries at last in general so whatever to decide there is basically taken by the other countries they're not going after the ones that cost the crisis they're not going after the ones that have the money that has been lost in this crisis i mean why not talk about the raising taxes on those people why no talking about putting social demands on these bailouts for the banks merkel and sarkozy are facing huge problems with their popularity in the in the polls so i think it's also new with the image of building etc not so much rita finding a real solution. and yet another blow to the euro zone of the blocks a second one hundred sixty billion euro bailout for greece may be under threat athens has agreed to provide finland with collateral in return for its contribution to the financial rescue package but it is sparked indignation among the other

fifteen donors some of which are now also demanding collateral analysts however warned that greece is incapable of handing out such guarantees and professor of applied economics patrick oppman for says that lack of direction in the e.u. isn't helping it battle its crisis. there's obviously a lot of uncertainty about the eurozone and what will happen because the eurozone summit wasn't very conclusive all helpful in that respect so that's a great deal of uncertainty which is worrying the markets about the situation of banks in europe and i think that will be a result but it may take some time to resolve it that's the problem meanwhile the markets are very nervous and the eurozone will be will take time to sort itself out either the euro will break up all day will produce a fiscal union with big try. to bail all these countries out nobody really in a quite knows which. that won't be resolved anytime soon but i think what it is

happening what is happening is that the western economies the richer economy is having a harder time of it because you know all the growth if you like in realty of raw materials is being taken by countries like china and india and brazil and so that's leaving very little scope for the richer countries to grow their groaning under these very high oil prices you know which depress their incomes and make them much more cautious syria's president assad has given a live t.v. interview saying the regime is not in danger of falling and of that the government is able to deal with of the current unrest in the country syrian state media have condemned u.s. and european calls for president assad to step down saying the move is part of a. spirity russia has also refused to back the calls saying assad should be given more time to implement promised were formally this comes in the wake of a crackdown on anti-abortion protesters but as our teams more information oh reports while the west sees all governments action as oppression some in syria see

it as protection. job is done the city liberated there is or in lease of the country has become the last syrian city in left have to clear an extremist strip have been terrorizing his citizens for weeks the military claim is that he's bandits blocked their rights put up barricades it became a gay city we were hiding we were just like hostages. soldiers of the syrian army i live in the city of the so near the iraqi border. officials are saying operation is now over that the city has been freed from the groves as you can see people are welcome in the soldiers as the way there is but why would tanks have been trying to make their way through jubilant crowds thousands of kilometers away in the white house a decision has already matured president bashar al assad is the one who's terrorizing the syrian people and that should and the transition to democracy in syria has

begun and it's time for assad to get out of the way not everybody has agreed though moscow has insisted that assad should be given time to implement promised changes his recent decisions to release political prisoners for appeal emergency law and allow peaceful demonstrations have indicated the right direction but external pressure could still bury a fragile transitional. reforms will give forces to syria it will make the country stronger but syria's enemies don't want syria to be strong america for instance they're sick and tired of a strong syria and they want to weaken it they don't want reforms they need instability and chaos to cry. as the country is now it's possible and there pressure works for it with contradictory reports about policemen and security officers killed across the country and the army's continued crackdown on protesters despite president assad's pledges to the un to stop military operations the syrian
